Contract award announcement

Thruvision (AIM: THRU) the specialist provider of people-screening technology to the international security market, is pleased to announce a strategically important contract award by the US Government's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) totalling $3.0 million, of which $2.9 million will be delivered in FY20.

This latest award is in addition to winning a contract, valued at £0.4 million to supply a new Asian customs agency customer earlier in September.

Commenting on the award, Colin Evans, Chief Executive, said "We are delighted to add CBP as our eighth national customs agency customer. This award reinforces Thruvision's international standing as a first choice provider of safe and respectful people security screening technology as we continue to broaden our strategically important US Government customer base."

Interest in Thruvision's Customs contraband detection solution - which screens travellers for drugs, cash and other prohibited items at international border control points - continues to grow. During 2019 the Group has already delivered units to a broad range of national government agency customers, including UK Border Force, the Czech Republic, and a repeat order from Vietnam. Momentum has continued, and as previously announced, the Group received a first order from the US State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, and a repeat order from Hong Kong Customs early during this financial year.
